Yes, Eriacta 100 mg (which contains sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient as Viagra) typically requires a prescription for both short-term and long-term use. Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and is regulated in most countries.
Why a Prescription is Required:
Medical Supervision: Long-term use requires monitoring for side effects such as headaches, dizziness, vision changes, and heart-related risks.
Drug Interactions: It can interact with nitrates, blood pressure medications, and certain heart medications.
Underlying Health Conditions: ED can be a symptom of other health issues like cardiovascular disease or diabetes, which require evaluation.
Proper Dosage & Safety: A doctor ensures the right dose and assesses whether it is safe for continued use.
